Local KidLit Social at Literary Arts

Wed, Jun 11, 2025 from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm PDT
716 SE Grand Ave Portland, OR 97214

Join Literary Arts for a social mixer event to meet local children’s authors and learn about their work! It’s the middle of Portland Book Week AND The American Booksellers Association’s Children’s Institute will be in town — what better time to celebrate the amazing Portland-area authors creating books for children. (Not a story time but kids are welcome to come along and enjoy the books and the space.)
Light refreshments will be available as will many, many books from local authors!
